Just one day after appearing alongsidePrince Charlestopresent the George Crossto representatives of the National Health Service from the four countries that make up the U.K., the 96-year-old monarch held two virtual audiences.
High Commissioner for the Kingdom of Eswatini Thandazile Mbuyisa and High Commissioner for the Co-operative Republic of Guyana Dr. Rajendra Singh were at Buckingham Palace, where they chatted with the Queen, who is in residence at Windsor Castle — about 20 miles away from London.
The Queen was all smiles for the meetings, sporting a floral pattern dress and a single-strand pearl necklace.

However, the British royal family’s official Twitter account had to delete and retweet their post about the meetings after mistakenly saying they were with incoming ambassadors rather than high commissioners. Both are both types of heads of a country’s diplomatic mission, although an ambassador is the representative of one country in another country while a high commissioner is the head of state in another country.
